Shun selfish, mischievous politicians hiding under religion, ethnicity – Shehu advises Nigerians
Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has enjoined religious
leaders across the country to shun selfish and mischievous politicians that
hide under the guise of religion and ethnicity to divide the people during
elections.
He said there was a need for clerics to avoid politicians
that have lost power and are now whipping up all sorts of sentiments against
the government of the day.
Speaking during a dinner breaking fast held in Kaduna, Shehu
Sani said that poverty and hunger have been so weaponised to control the masses
for self aggrandizement.
He advised that clerics should use places of worship to
preach messages of peace and unity as well as enlighten adherents on the power
of voting good leaders during elections, believing that democracy can only
survive if there is equity, justice, progress and development.
